Sounds Good,I hope BMW build it as soon as it possible not like CS Concept which it takes atleast 4 years to get produced.

would be very nice. BMW did not have an image car/ Q car for many years. M1, Z8, then nothing for the past 7 years.

I don't think Q car is the term you're looking for... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-car

I don't think the car needs that much power if its going to be made of carbon fiber, and seriously... shark skin; they're as rough as a nail file.

Of all the cars even built, the z8, in my mind is the prettiest. (followed by the aston db9 and the Ferrari 360 modena). Since the z8, BMW didn't deliver a significative item for the book of awsomely pretty cars. Mercedes now with is SLS AMG and Audi with the R8. BMW have no choice, the have to create an icon. And I think it is the perfect time since BMW is cured form his "design infection" ... i'm not going to call any name here... I love the bmw brand, but with the 7 Series of 2001, the 5 Series GT and the X6... all of them completely hidious cars by the way... I kind of... lost my faith, I Can't wait to see Z Spyder on the public road. I'm pretty sure they will produce it. The new Z4 and M3 sure look pretty and sporty. Great cars! Sorry But no product from the current bmw lineup can match with the graceful beauties of today.

What's arrogant about BMW taking their time? Making sure they build an amazing car correctly? Finding the right engine + transmission? Making sure they use the right materials to keep the weight down, but prevent the cost from skyrocketing? There's nothing arrogant about making sure you build a car to the best of your ability. Plus, the numbers speak for themselves. Lexus shouldn't even be considered in the same league as BMW. While they do build alright vehicles, they are not BMW, Audi or Mercedes.

i dont see how 7/8 years will benefit the actual car, what with the rate of technological advancement, if you designed a chassis designed in 2001 wouldnt it be obsolete now?...not to mention an engine??, 2 1/2-3 years is a reasonable gestation period for a car,, bmw makes the best engines, has the funds, the tech, and they know a thing or 2 about handling so why not?? certainly a manufacturer of bmws stature should almost always have a halo car.....just ask mr merc he'll know!!

the Z8 was an stunningly beautiful car, so glad that BMW is making a successor for it, but hopefully it will have proper handling and chassis tunning

I'm not so sure doing another droptop front-engined car is the best choice for BMW. Sure, they do those very well, but isn't it time to rather build something that harkens back to the M1 (if they're absolutely hellbent on the new car harkening back to something)? Give us a mid-engined, proper hypercar. Something to truly scare Lambo, Ferrari, even Pagani for that matter. I'd love to see a svelte, light-weight, powerful-enough dynamic tour de force car come from BMW for a change. Give us that BMW. You owe us as much.
